The best starting point would be to revist the old Project Aon mailing list archives from whenever we discussed it originally (1999, was it?! or 2000?) cos there were a great many posts at the time, a pretty exhaustive (and exhausting ;-) discussion which probably did say all there was to be said! Is that stuff still online somewhere? If I recall correctly, my personal take on things was always that the original printing of Fire on the Water was fine as it stood: - being able to survive if you had Animal Kinship was well within the spirit of the "Kai Disciplines"/"Kai Wisdom" advice that ("choose your skills and equipment wisely - the correct use of a Kai Discipline can enable any player to complete an adventure no matter how weak their initial stats are" - to paraphrase badly from memory ;) - and the moral dilemma of "do I give Rhygar my spear?" is best answered by "Duh - Rhygar is being silly as there's every possibilty that the Helghast have already reached Tarnalin" - so no, you'd be a fool to give him your Magic Spear, just as he's being a fool to wait outside the tunnel and let you go in alone.

Richard Ford (from Mongoose) and I have been discussing how it could be fixed. Project Aon couldn't find a simple solution that satisfied everyone (or even a large majority of everyone). This particular situation may require Joe's intervention in rewriting several sections of the book, and my impression is that he's concentrating on Flight from the Dark and 29-32. Here's your chance to have a hand in fixing it. -- Jon Blake ~~~~~~ Manage your subscription at //www.freelists.org/list/projectaon
